Chapter 1401 -s 1348-1349 Life Simulation—Kingdom Threat Sui’s Concerns_2
Moreover, as Sui led his army to continuously defeat the strong warriors of the God Race Alliance and took over lands and recruited populations, the population of the Sui People Clan continued to surge, reaching over nine million, nearing ten million people.
This was undoubtedly a huge period of expansion for the entire Sui People Clan. They began to selectively slow the pace of their military advancement and instead focused on managing and governing the territories, cities, and populations taken from the God Race Alliance.
Many members of the Sui People Clan were dispatched, in cooperation with Pei Xuanjing’s proposed military governance state. Although they could not immediately restore the newly acquired cities to their former condition, military suppression at least restored peace.
As time passed, the Sui People Clan continued to conscript large armies, expanding the number of strong warriors under their command. By then, the regular soldiers alone had exceeded eight hundred thousand; counting the militia reserves, the number had reached nearly one hundred fifty thousand.
Speaking of the reserves, the number of eight hundred thousand soldiers alone was already immense. It is known that, even though conflicts were incessant, the usual conscription rate was maintained between fifteen and twenty-five percent. Exceeding this ratio would create a huge burden and encumbrance.
Given the population of the Sui People Clan, which was about nine hundred fifty thousand souls, the most appropriate conscription number would have been between four hundred thousand and six hundred thousand. They already had a surplus of at least two hundred thousand.
However, what most shocked the various parties was that even though the Sui People Clan’s conscription number exceeded this ratio, it had no effect on the development of their clan; the prosperity of the various cities was undeniable.
Clearly, a large army of over four hundred thousand would have been sufficient, but they decisively continued conscription and, although the pace of their expansion had slowed, it had never ceased. At this moment, many forces saw the ambitions of the Sui People Clan as completely evident.
It was necessary to caution the Sui People Clan. They could no longer continue expanding, according to the views of many Dukes and even Kingdoms.
Originally, their view was that the Sui People Clan was a replacement for the God Race Alliance, but as the Sui People Clan grew stronger and developed so recklessly, it was clear they were becoming a disruptor.
